Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and going for an all-white aesthetic. I've got a good selection of parts, but I'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to case fans. I'm looking for recommendations on which white case fans to use, including how many I should get, which brands are reliable, and where I should mount them for optimal looks and airflow. Here's what I've put together so far in terms of parts: an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, a Gigabyte motherboard, and a HYTE Y70 case, among others. I'd love any advice to make sure it all looks great together!

What’s the main purpose of your PC? Are you focusing on gaming, productivity, or a mix of both?
Just a heads up — aside from the fans, is there anything else in your build that you feel unsure about? Would be good to double-check compatibility!
You might want to check out Lian Li fans for quality, though they can be pricey. If you're looking for something more budget-friendly, Asiahorse fans are a solid choice that look good too. For optimal airflow, I’d suggest mounting three 120mm fans on the side for intake — maybe consider reverse fans for a nice aesthetic. A single 120mm exhaust fan at the back and three bottom fans as intake would round out the setup nicely; you could use the stock fans from your AIO cooler for the bottom — they’re not visible anyway!
Could you give me a list of the best high-end Lian Li fans to consider? I'm going all out on this build!
I'm mostly going for 4K gaming with everything maxed out, but I also use really heavy architectural and engineering software for work, so I definitely need the RAM!
